Thats great if someone is cranking out an aftermarket solution. I finally resorted to just removing the sliding cover (breaking it out and removing the pieces) as I couldn’t figure a replacement fix out either. I think it is part number 51168408026 and is the entire cup holder unit, which looks to be discontinued.
I never used the cover anyway and for my purposes it looks fine without it, so not having it there doesn’t bother me too much. Unlike say, the little “Airbag” plugs/covers for the doors that all broke over the years. The boss finally authorized the expenditure because the holes in the door panels bothered me.
I would spring for a new center console armrest insert, without the CD holder. This thing is worthless now, mostly broken and it would be nice to have the room to store stuff. The OE piece is discontinued as well and out of stock everywhere I’ve looked.
